As someone who’s been playing Tomodachi Life for the Nintendo 3DS since age 9, I am VERY excited about the upcoming release of Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream, coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2026. Unfortunately it might be $80, because games can be $80 now, I guess.
Many people are celebrating the announcement of its sequel. But despite this game being a cult favorite, it still had its flaws. A major complaint regarding Tomodachi Life was its lack of inclusivity – the only relationships that can occur in-game are heterosexual, unless you do what I did and set girl Miis as boys in their profiles so they could be lesbians and vice versa. This is something I could live with, as I am woke enough to see past the constraints of gender, and because the game is not realistic. If a Mii eats a food they strongly dislike, they can turn grey and melt into a puddle of goo, which seldom occurs in real life. Who really cares if my Miis are he/him lesbians? Not I, says the dog.
In order to make up for past shortcomings, Nintendo has stated that not only will queer relationships be possible in Tomodachi Life 2, but that there is also gay sex! Teased were multiple minigames, including a “searching for the clit” minigame, a quiz game where you must identify several sex toys by their shadows, and a rhythm game in which you have to correctly time a series of backshots.
Items that are confirmed to be added in the Gay Sex Update include:
Poppers: These can be gifted to the Mii prior to their night out at Club Tomodachi! However, if given too many, their EXP meter will be replaced with a sadness meter in the morning, and you’ll have to give them the Mii advil.
Strap: This item is a possible prize for completing minigames included in the Gay Sex Update!
Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco: This is an item obtainable as a level-up reward if a Mii hooks up with the top 5 most desirable islanders, which are visible on the island ranking boards.
Vinyl Collection Interior: This is an interior that can be obtained by successfully marrying a character with the “Male Manipulator” personality trait.
Carabiner: This item is obtainable as a level-up reward after a Mii hooks up with a butch.
Additionally, the Concert Hall will now include a Vogue song, since I was unable to attend Lady Gaga’s Coachella performance.
All in all, I guess you can say that “Wii” can’t wait to get our hands on Tomodachi Life 2, now with the Gay Sex Update!
